Publication number: 20140142627Abstract: Various devices, systems and methods for knotless suturing of tissue are disclosed. These devices allow sutures to be anchored to bone, and more specifically provide a suture anchor which eliminates the need for knotting the suture. Thus, damaged tissue may be re-attached to a substrate tissue. The anchors have a minimum of moving parts may be suited to being a single molded polymer construction. The anchors will find particular utility in hip and shoulder arthroscopy, e.g. labral re-attachment and similar procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: Foundry Newco XI, Inc.Inventors: Michael Hendricksen, Mark Hirotsuka, Mark Deem, Jeffry J. Grainger, Darin Gittings

Publication number: 20140031863Abstract: A knotless suture anchoring system includes an outer anchor having a central channel and a distal tip adapted to penetrate tissue. An inner anchor is positionable in the central channel of the outer anchor and a locking feature on one or both of the inner and outer anchors retains the inner anchor within the central channel. A continuous length of suture is coupled with the inner and outer suture anchors and has a free end. At least one of the inner and the outer anchors also has a cinching mechanism that allows the suture to be tensioned by passage of the suture through the cinching mechanism in a first direction while movement of the suture through the cinching mechanism in a second direction opposite the first direction is constrained.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Applicant: Foundry Newco XI, Inc.Inventors: Darin C. Gittings, Mark Deem, Michael Hendricksen, Vivek Shenoy, Hanson S. Gifford, III, Stephen Boyd

Publication number: 20140005720Abstract: Various devices, systems and methods for knotless anchoring of sutures to repair bodily tissue are disclosed. These devices allow sutures to be anchored to bone or other tissues, and more specifically provide a suture anchor which eliminates the need for the operator to knot the suture to secure the suture under tension. Thus, damaged tissue may be re-attached to a substrate tissue. The anchors have a minimum of moving parts and find particular utility in hip and shoulder arthroscopy, e.g. labral re-attachment, rotator cuff repair, and similar procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: Foundry Newco XI, Inc.Inventors: Mark Hirotsuka, Michael Hendricksen, Darin Gittings, John Morriss

Publication number: 20130345746Abstract: A method for impacting a suture anchor into bone comprises providing an implantable suture anchor and providing an impactor device for impacting the suture anchor into the bone. The suture anchor is coupled to a distal portion of the impactor device. Positioning the suture anchor engages the anchor with the bone at an implantation site, and powering the impactor device impacts the suture anchor thereby implanting the suture anchor into the bone. The frequency of impaction is less than 20 KHz. The impactor device is then decoupled from the suture anchor, and the impactor device may be removed from the implantation site.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: Foundry Newco XI, Inc.Inventors: Darin C. GITTINGS, Mark E. DEEM, Hanson GIFFORD, Doug SUTTON, Vivek SHENOY
